Bang Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Loyalty Day. remember way back when the right used to make fun of the left by calling them all "Comrade"? This year, proclamation. Next year, military parade down Constitution Avenue. Year 3.. round up the non loyal and put them in Loyalty re-education camps. I'm just waiting on the bullets. My hope is when it happens, the military sides with the people. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you'd agree with me that there are certain circumstances where that sort of thing would be justifiable. Like, if the President belongs to the same political party as I do for example.

Probably worse. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2017/04/29/trump_on_senate_a_very_rough_system_an_archaic_system_thats_a_bad_thing_for_the_country.html The block quote: Quote MACCALLUM: You were a registered Democrat for a long time. Now Republican president of the United States. And people say, "Well, President Trump's not an ideologue. He is a pragmatist."How would you describe your political philosophy?TRUMP: Well, I'm not really an ideologue. I think I'm a person of common sense I think more than anything else.And I was a Democrat. I came from a place -- you know, I lived in Manhattan. I started in Queen with my parents and then when I started doing little bit better and better deals, I was able to get into Manhattan, I moved into Manhattan. And in Manhattan you -- you know, Republicans are not exactly flourishing. And -- so I started off as a Democrat, like Ronald Reagan was also a Democrat. And over the years, you know, your -- your views just change somewhat.But I think, more than anything else, I'm a person of common sense. I understand what has to be done. I get things done. I've always been a closer. We don't have a lot of closers in politics, and I understand why. It's a very rough system. It's -- it's an archaic system.You look at the rules of the Senate, even the rules of the House -- but the rules of the Senate and some of the things you have to go through, it's -- it's really a bad thing for the country, in my opinion. They're archaic rules.And maybe at some point we're going to have to take those rules on, because, for the good of the nation, things are going to have to be different. You can't go through a process like this. It's not fair. It forces you to make bad decisions. I mean, you're really forced into doing things that you would normally not do except for these archaic rules. He goes from talking about his ideology to talking about how the "system" is archaic and rough, and then clarifies he means the rules of the Senate and House, and says they're bad for the country. Then talks about taking on the rules and the process. That sounds pretty concerning. I mean, Trump's failures have mostly come from the GOP abandoning him on things, so how is he going to "take on the process" to help him be a "closer" if not override the House and Senate completely. I mostly suspect he can't do what he probably wants to do, which is turn his executive orders into the law of the land, no ifs/ands/buts, but his mindset is still very concerning.

Bang Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 He doesn't realize those archaic rules are to give the voice to the people, and not those who think the job is royalty. the notion that we The People are to be involved in anything but doing what he deems we do is completely alien to him. Most dictators know they want to be dictators.. this idiot literally seems to think it's better than our system...so long as he calls the shots. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
